Famous quotes containing the words european, works and/or councils:
“In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational.

—“Manifesto of the Arab Surrealist Movement” (1975)
